Real Madrid wasted no time: Kylian Mbappé has already been immortalized in statue form. After the Grévin Museum, the French superstar now has his own figure at the brand-new Real Madrid World in Dubai. Well… “immortalized” might be a generous word.
Placed proudly next to Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane, Mbappé’s statue is already causing a stir, and not for the reasons the club imagined. The resemblance? Let’s say… approximate. Very approximate. With a stiff expression, a bizarre smile and a gaze that seems to be staring into the wrong future, fans are torn: touching tribute or Wish.com version of KM10?

Around this curiosity, Real Madrid World unleashes its full XXL concept: a mix of museum, theme park and Champions League hype machine. Giant crests, looping anthems, shiny trophies, Madrid takes you and throws you straight into full immersion.
The attractions ramp it up even more: The Real Challenge simulates a player’s entrance onto the pitch via roller coaster, while The Royal Academy tests your reflexes and quickly explains why you never made it pro.
With CR7 and Zidane
Then comes the highlight: the wax museum. CR7, Zidane, and now Mbappé, even if the Frenchman might deserve a second attempt that looks a bit more… human.
And because adrenaline makes you hungry, the park features a fully Madrid-themed food district: churros, hot chocolate, and a restaurant recreating the intensity of a Champions League final, signed jerseys included.
In short: it’s intense, over-the-top, pure Madrid. And even if Mbappé’s statue looks more like a distant cousin than the real KM10, it’s the perfect symbol of the park — where legends, the future, and a whole lot of hype collide in Dubai.
